The Saints Way is a historic walk that passes through Golant and provides access along the river to the coastal town of Fowey (couple of hours walk). The Saints Way runs past Cascade along Gumms Lane (see our annotated map on the Location Page) and after passing just another 3 houses you are directly onto the Golant Downs. Some more information is here.

This walk will eventually lead you into Fowey (allow a couple of hours).

The Fisherman's Arms is located by the inner harbour in Golant (just 150 metres away) and in many ways is the focal heart of the village and a good place for lunch or just to sit outside and enjoy a drink by the river. There are many good pubs in the area but the Fisherman's is a true local. Their website is here.

Watch their "Events" page for details of the Golant Carnival, and the many other Village events over the year.

The Cormorant Hotel (just a few doors down - see our location page) offers a quality restaurant.
